Gorgeous!
First impressions: OH WOWZA, I LOVE THIS. IT IS BEAUTIFUL!Unbelievably feminine and sexy.Warm.Floral to be sure.Subtle ambery mid notes.An ultra faint, low lying whisper of peach, but barely.What you need to know: IT’S A SOLID FLORAL. If you already know you aren’t into florals, then pass on this. Jasmine and magnolia soar off the top of this scent with a touch of rose and peony trailing right behind it.In the middle: I’m picking up golden ambery ribbons that make it sultry and arousing. A kiss of earthy tonka mingling in there.On the bottom and at the end of the smelling experience: I’m getting something ever so *slightly* woodsy alongside creamy powder. (Again, if you aren’t into perfumes with the powder thing going, skip this one. It’s barely there, but it’s there.)Ultimately, it settles into something warm, musky, and delicious, with a gentle peppery note, but it is amazzzzing. They did an exceptional job when they created this. It has romantic stay-in-date-night vibes written all over it. I’m talking: Relaxing on the sofa near a crackling fireplace, sipping on a glass of wine with your significant other, lights down low with flickering candles everywhere, some soft music in the background, and the occasional slow, stolen, lingering kiss. (If you’ve ever seen the Toby Keith heart-melting love song with Heather Locklear in the music video, then you already know the musical version of what this scent smells like.)It is probably one of the longest lasting scents I’ve ever used. I can put it on at 6:00 or 7:00 AM and still detect it on my wrists by bedtime around 10:00 PM. This is a perfume work horse that is in it for the long haul. Of course it has an especially long life on clothes, but that can be said of a lot of perfumes. Has it faded and softened by end of day? Of course, but hey, I have some perfumes that barely make it til lunch.Now as for the somewhat comical ads I’ve seen on social media where males are losing their minds with arousal, grabbing at their female partners like some hormonal teen, because the pheromone reacting scent is so hypnotic and intoxicating that they must have her right now? Nope. Can’t say as I have experienced this, and I’m happily married. Granted my husband has never commented on any perfume I’ve ever worn in 14 years, so maybe he’s just oblivious? My two children tell me I smell pretty though, so there’s that. I wear perfume for *me* though. I’m not really trying to blow anyone away with my glorious scent. I wear the scents I enjoy and I’m a firm believer that less is more. I’m not trying to create some cloud or trail on every elevator or escalator I travel on like Elizabeth Taylor. (Apparently the cloud of White Diamonds perfume that followed her everywhere she went was legendary and would be alarming and bothersome to most people.) One drop or one spray is PLENTY y’all. Even if you can no longer detect it, others still can.I wish I could give this more than 5 stars. It genuinely is fabulous. If the scents that sing out are ones you know you usually like, then this one may be a good candidate for a blind buy.Ver másVer menos
